With the oil crash putting billions in offshore oil investments in peril we find out how companies can start to secure funds in the challenging environment. We also explore the decision to open up the Gulf of Mexico to private energy companies and whether it could mean the end for state-controlled oil provider Pemex.

In the latest issue, we profile the $300m infrastructure project by LADOL off the coast of Lagos, investigate the rise of the eco-activist investor and discover the cost implications of ultra-deep E&P.

Moreover, we take a look at how the collaboration between Aptomar and Transas, has created one of the world’s most advanced oil spill combating simulator centre’s at the North Cape Maritime Training Centre in Norway.
